[Qemu-devel] OpenBSD progress.. available for testing

[Todd T. Fries]

For anyone lurking wanting a newer port of qemu to OpenBSD, I've determined
that -O0 is required for cpu-exec.o and suddely things start working!

Will try to determine why while updating other diffs to current qemu perhaps
in time for the 0.12.0 release, but at least finally I can run the 0.12.0rc1
on OpenBSD/i386 for the first time since the 0.9.1 release.

Thanks much to brynet at gmail dot com for pointing out the -O0 trick, though
I have narrowed it down to cpu-exec.o.

Are there any gcc4 assumptions in there incase my spend time investigating
can be shaved?

Thanks,

There must be, gcc4 builds fine with -O2.

Whee!

Even with -O0 on cpu-exec.o, qemu segv'ed after about 30mins of runtime. Oof!
